Built for George Carnegie and his wife Margaret Thaw by George's mother Lucy. It was then later inhabited by the Johnston family, who were to the Carnegies. It is now a part of the NPS.

Revolutionary War Hero General Nathanael Greene purchased land on Cumberland Island in 1783. Following his death, his widow Catherine Greene, constructed a four-story tabby home that she named Dungeness. Thomas Carnegie and his wife Lucy began building another Dungeness on the original foundation in 1884. The Carnegie's Dungeness burned in 1959 and today only the ruins remain on the site.
